The contents of the report were noted by Members and comments were made on the following items a) Active Travel. The proposal for a cycle route from Berinsfield to Oxford is being supported by Oxfordshire County Council and they will put this forward as their chosen project in their application to Central Government on the 19th June, 2021. b) School Transport. County Councillor Bennett has had a meeting with the School Transport Officers at the County Council with a view to looking for ways to resolve the problem whereby children are charged for using the buses to Secondary Schools. Councillor Perkins informed the meeting that residents do not feel they should have to pay for their children to get to school. Councillor Mrs. Jones pointed out that the Abingdon Secondary Schools are the catchment schools for children living in Berinsfield and therefore transport should be provided free of charge. County Councillor Bennett would like to hear from residents about their experiences of getting their children to school on the school buses. County Councillor Bennett informed the Council that there will be a meeting with the Head of the Abingdon Learning Trust, County Officers and representatives from affected areas. The Chairman, Councillor Stuart Scott-Ely asked County Councillor Bennett to let the Parish Council know when the meeting would be held. 4. District Councillor’s Report. District Councillor Bennett had prepared a written Report which had been circulated electronically to all Members of the Parish Council, the contents of which had been noted by Members of the Parish Council. Comments were made on the following items. a) Bikers at the H Café. District Councillor Bennett had been contacted by Dorchester-on-Thames Parish Council with regard to issues caused by some of the bikers who meet at the H Café at Berinsfield roundabout. District Councillor Bennett suggested that a letter be sent to the new Police and Crime Commissioner, Matthew Barber, and Oxfordshire County Council Officers to see if any action could be taken to encourage the bikers to be neighbourly when meeting at the H Café. A proposal was put forward for consideration to be given to extending the 40 mph speed limit further along the Dorchester by pass. Members of the Parish Council considered this would be a good idea as it would restrict the speed near to the point where pedestrians have to cross the bypass to reach the bus stop. The Chairman, Councillor Stuart Scott-Ely informed the meeting that a request from Dorchester-on-Thames Parish Council to work together with Berinsfield Parish Council with regard to the bikers who meet at the H Café was considered at the Parish Council meeting on 12th April 2021 and the Parish Council had agreed that Dorchester Parish Council should be informed that Berinsfield Parish Council is supportive of encouraging the bikers to maintain neighbourly behaviour whilst attending their meetings at the H-Café. District Councillor Bennett will speak to Dorchester Parish Council to ask that a joint letter be drafted to the Police Crime Commissioner and Oxfordshire County Council. It was also agreed that the Police should be thanked for their efforts and their presence at the H Café on the days that the bikers meet there. b) Town and Parish Council Forum. Councillor Bridge attended the Forum on 27th May when the climate and ecological emergencies were discussed. South Oxfordshire District Council plan to hold the forums on a much more regular basis, possibly once a month, with each one focussing on a different topic. c) Berinsfield Garden Village. District Councillor Bennett informed the Parish Council that the draft minutes from the last Berinsfield Garden Village meeting held on 13th May, 2021 had been circulated to attendees for comment prior to being circulated. There will be an information stall about the Garden Village at the Berinsfield village fete on 24th July 2021. d) Neighbourhood Planning District Councillor Bennett informed the meeting that he had met with Ptarmigan and the Master Planning Officer from South Oxfordshire District Council. The Chairman, Councillor Stuart Scott-Ely enquired if it was appropriate for meetings to take place without representatives from the Parish Council being present. District Councillor Bennett informed the Council that the meeting it was to deal with District Council matters. The Chairman, Councillor Stuart Scott-Ely, thanked Robin Bennett for attending the meeting and for submitting his reports on behalf of the County Council and District Council. 5. To receive and approve the Minutes of the Parish Council meeting held on 4th May, 2021. It was AGREED that the Minutes of the virtual meeting of Berinsfield Parish Council held on 4th May, 2021 should be APPROVED. 6. To consider planning applications received to date. a) Planning Application No. P21/S1365/HH New front porch, single-storey rear extension at the rear to link existing garage and change rear garage door and window to double glazing. Front garage door changed to window and door. 202 Fane Drive, Berinsfield, OX10 7 QA The Parish Council AGREED that South Oxfordshire District Council should be informed that it has no objections to this planning application. b) Planning Application No. P21/S2098/HH Single and double storey rear extensions. 37 Lodden Avenue, Berinsfield OX10 7PY The Parish Council considered this application and it was AGREED that South Oxfordshire District Council should be informed that it should be refused on the following grounds :- i) The application does not reflect what has already been constructed on the site, therefore the application should be for retrospective development and not a new development. ii) The first floor extension is significantly larger than shown on the drawings. iii) The Parish Council understand that there is an active enforcement action case in respect of this property. iv) The Parish Council would like the Planning Officer to visit the property prior to any planning decision being made. c) Details pursuant to condition 7 (landfill gas control plant restoration) of Planning Permission P92/W0013/CC (MW.001/93) Wally Corner Landfill site, Burcot Lane, Dorchester OX10 7BJ. (OCC ref: MW.0076/21) The Parish Council noted that the original development was for a landfill gas control plant. This development was completed in 1994 and the landfill site closed in 1997. The former landfill site covers an area of approximately 8 hectares and is now used for solar electricity generation. As the application relates to the restoration of a closed site and no further development is proposed, it was not considered that any further environmental information was required at this stage. It was AGREED to inform Oxfordshire County Council that the Parish Council does not have any objections to the proposed works, but assumes that Oxfordshire County Council has been in touch with the current owners of the Solar Farm. The Parish Council would like Oxfordshire County Council to note that it was in discussion with the original owners of the Solar Farm about providing a building on the site to be used as an educational hub to allow the community to understand how the energy is produced and used. The area where the gas control plant is located is secured by a fence and would be an ideal location for the Solar Farm owners to provide an educational hub. 7. Correspondence and Items for Information. a) Oxfordshire County Council Community Renewal Fund. The Parish Council noted that the Parish Council did not submit an application to the Community Renewal Fund as it was primarily for revenue funding and not capital funding. b) Neighbourhood Planning – Locality High Streets and Social Infrastructure Support. The Parish Council noted that the Consultant assisting the Council with its Neighbourhood Development Plan advised that the Parish Council should not apply for the Locality High Streets and Social Infrastructure support. The Chairman, Councillor Stuart Scott-Ely, informed Members that the Parish Council should continue with its plans for a Neighbourhood Development Plan. c) Community First Oxfordshire. It was AGREED that the Community Development Worker should be invited to make a presentation at a future Parish Council meeting about the work carried out by Community First Oxfordshire. d) Request to use recreation ground for a “pop up shop”. The Parish Council considered a request from a resident to site a “pop up shop” on the recreation ground on a regular basis. The Parish Council felt that the recreation ground, a public open space, was not a suitable location for a “pop up shop”, but the resident should be informed she could hire the pavilion for this purpose if she wished. It was AGREED that the resident should be informed that she could not site a “pop up shop” on the recreation ground, but that the pavilion was available for hire and she could apply to hire it at the normal hourly rate to set up her “pop up shop”.

  • Early Medieval Oxfordshire
    Anglo-Saxon Oxfordshire Sally Crawford and Anne Dodd, December 2007 1. Introduction: nature of the evidence, history of research and the role of material culture Anglo-Saxon Oxfordshire has been extremely well served by archaeological research, not least because of coincidence of Oxfordshire’s diverse underlying geology and the presence of the University of Oxford. Successive generations of geologists at Oxford studied and analysed the landscape of Oxfordshire, and in so doing, laid the foundations for the new discipline of archaeology. As early as 1677, geologist Robert Plot had published his The Natural History of Oxfordshire ; William Smith (1769- 1839), who was born in Churchill, Oxfordshire, determined the law of superposition of strata, and in so doing formulated the principles of stratigraphy used by archaeologists and geologists alike; and William Buckland (1784-1856) conducted experimental archaeology on mammoth bones, and recognised the first human prehistoric skeleton. Antiquarian interest in Oxfordshire lead to a number of significant discoveries: John Akerman and Stephen Stone's researches in the gravels at Standlake recorded Anglo-Saxon graves, and Stone also recognised and plotted cropmarks in his local area from the back of his horse (Akerman and Stone 1858; Stone 1859; Brown 1973). Although Oxford did not have an undergraduate degree in Archaeology until the 1990s, the Oxford University Archaeological Society, originally the Oxford University Brass Rubbing Society, was founded in the 1890s, and was responsible for a large number of small but significant excavations in and around Oxfordshire as well as providing a training ground for many British archaeologists. Pioneering work in aerial photography was carried out on the Oxfordshire gravels by Major Allen in the 1930s, and Edwin Thurlow Leeds, based at the Ashmolean Museum, carried out excavations at Sutton Courtenay, identifying Anglo-Saxon settlement in the 1920s, and at Abingdon, identifying a major early Anglo-Saxon cemetery (Leeds 1923, 1927, 1947; Leeds 1936).

  • South Oxfordshire District Council Note on Growth of the Towns and Larger Villages
    South Oxfordshire District Council Note on Growth of the Towns and Larger Villages Following Matter 5 on the Spatial Strategy and in advance of Week 4 Matters on the Towns, the tables and graphs attached expand on the planned growth of the Sustainable Settlements. They are as follows: Table 1: explains the origins of the figures the Plans sets for neighbourhood plans to allocate in Tables 5d and 5f. It starts with the number of dwellings at the time of the 2011 Census, adds 15% to the dwellings stock and adds the allocations carried forward from earlier plans, before showing how much this represents in terms of growth each settlement in percentage terms by 2035 Table 2: explains the actual (in many cases much higher) percentage growth of the Towns and Larger Villages because of commitments and completions. Also adds in the allocations in the Plan at Didcot, Nettlebed, Berinsfield, Chalgrove and Wheatley. Graphs: show the size of the four Towns at the 2011 Census, the number completed since 2011, the number of commitments (planning permissions) and the outstanding number to allocate in neighbourhood plans for Thame and Henley-on-Thames. In all cases the Didcot figures show only the South Oxfordshire side, not Vale of White Horse district. Together these show: 1. The Plan does not overlook the sustainable settlements (market towns and larger villages). There is high percentage growth here, but it is less visible in the Plan because it is being delivered through neighbourhood plans and not Plan allocations (except for Didcot, Nettlebed, Berinsfield, Chalgrove and Wheatley).
